As I think more about it and assuming they look fine with the standard bulbs, I'll just leave them and replace my pumpkin markers with clears!

He also did wonder if changing the type of bulb would cause a check engine light.

Still didn't work so I gave up and run amber in all.

I'll see how the stock white/amber element bulbs look with the clears - if they detract, I'll just run white/white.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm told that the factory amber markers come with clear bulbs, but the replacement clear side markers come with amber bulbs (go figure). Are people switching bulbs to have clear bulbs and clear markers? Legal? Should I care?
I remember someone posting that the clear bulbs and white markers (together) violate some DOT rule. Basically, something has to be amber.
As I understand it - a LOT of people run white/white and I haven't see a single post where they were flagged for it (although I haven't been watching diligently).

Not legal and looks like crap with clear bulbs and clear markers. WAY too bright. The oranges look just find at nite. Its only the daytime when it matters to look clear.
Arrogant - thanks. As I think more about it and assuming they look fine with the standard bulbs, I'll just leave them and replace my pumpkin markers with clears!
In my 964 I have clear markers just like my 996. Tried the clear when off and amber when on bulbs in the 964 and cannot get them to light at the same intensity from one bulb to another. Used a vendor on a thread here and even sent 2 back and he said he would match two up. Still didn't work so I gave up and run amber in all. Maybe I am too picky but I do have a college degree in lighting
what you can do is this....put a little triangle on the bottom of the lightbulb. paint the blub silver, take the triangle off and youre done.
enought light goes trough, and during the day it looks clear
I love the LEDs!
I now know how I'll be replacing my dead bulbs in my tail lights - I've been looking for LED versions for months, now I see I can just switch out the bulbs.
I put mine on this AM - very simple DIY. Left the stock bulbs in which really do look fine during the day. The clear side markers really do make the car look cleaner.
COSMOS:
That is the best looking C4S I've ever seen! I have a 2003 C4S myself (with clear markers). I've never really thought about tinted windows, but now that I've seen your car...
Thanks for the pics.
you know there are some cheap cars that have no side markers at all. I am thinking the laws are that if they have side markers they need to be amber in some way.
I said screw it I hate the yellow and if cheap cars can can get away with no side markers at all then it don't matter if mine match the car.
